Utilization of voriconazole drug monitoring in the treatment of cutaneous
Article in Medical mycology case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We report the use of voriconazole troughs to achieve appropriate therapeutic levels in treatment of a cutaneous Scedosporium apiospermum infection. Following heart transplantation, a 63-year-old immunocompromised patient presented with post-traumatic nodular lesions on his right shin. Pathology showed fungal yeasts with culture revealing Scedosporium apiospermum. According to therapeutic drug monitoring, initial voriconazole treatment was subtherapeutic requiring increased dosing until appropriate therapeutic trough levels were attained, and resolution of the fungal infection was achieved.
